The river : a novel / Peter Heller.

Summary:

When best friends, Wynn and Jack decide to canoe the Maskwa River in northern Canada, they encounter a wildfire making its way across the forest. When they hear a man and woman arguing on the fog-shrouded riverbank and decide to warn them about the fire, their search for the pair turns up nothing and no one. But the next day a man appears on the river, paddling alone. Is this the man they heard? And, if he is, where is the woman?
